Teenager told mum 'I'm tired' before fatal car crash with lorry

A teenager sent a message to his mother saying "I'm tired" before he died in a tragic collision. Robert Adams, 19, was driving on the A55 when he collided with a lorry in May, 2022.

The teen's Vauxhall Astra was wedged under the trailer of the vehicle which contained 13 tons of cheese. He suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, reports NorthWalesLive.

At an inquest on Friday, dashcam footage was shown from the Astra before the collision and viewed by members of Mr Adams' family who were present. A statement was read on behalf of his mother, Lorraine Lansbury, who was with the family on the day of the accident.
